How to Cook Black Eyed Peas

How to Cook Black Eye Peas

New Year's Eve was always a big celebration when I was growing up. My set of honorary parents hosted a huge party every year at their house way out in the sticks. There where at least 100 people there with all of their kids and teenagers tagging along. Everyone would come with their signature dish and a 6-pack of beer in their hand. It was always the same group of people. The ...

No Sunday supper or holiday meal is complete with out a steaming pile of tender, flavorful green beans somewhere in the side dish lineup. A bowl of bacon-covered green beans is usually in between the mashed potatoes and the deviled eggs as the one green vegetable that most people are excited to eat. What are ...

Easy Black Bean Salad

Easy Black Bean Salad

After nearly 3 years in our “new” house, we are finally getting around to actually doing some home improvement. A few weeks ago, my husband and I, with the help of a family friend who actually knows what they are doing, built a deck off the side of our house. It’s a good size deck coming in at about 200 square feet, enough for a table and a fire pit and visions of parties and ...

Brussels Sprouts in a Bacon Lemon Cream Sauce

Brussels in lemon cream sauce

I am very fortunate to have two children who love Brussels sprouts. Since they were very little, my two babies have requested Brussels sprouts for dinner on a fairly regular occasion. I realize just how unusual this is since Brussels sprouts are not exactly regarded as common favorite vegetable, especially for children. I attribute my children’s love of these tiny cabbages ...

Easy Keto Parmesan Mashed Cauliflower

Easy Keto Parmesan Mashed Cauliflower

Cauliflower is everywhere. You can't swing a dead cat on the internet without hitting some kind of recipe made with cauliflower. It's the darling of the low carb world, making all of your favorite carb loaded dishes possible again. The thing with cauliflower it seems though is that no one wants to eat it all by itself, because it's not all that appealing. You really have to ...

 Spring Parmesan Pasta is a colorful and vibrant recipe that perfectly showcases the season's freshest veggies.

It’s not a thing I wave around like a flag, but it’s not a big ...

Asparagus Gremolata

Asparagus Gremolata

Spring has certainly arrived here in the South and it has brought buckets of pollen with it. Everything I own is covered with a fine layer of yellow dust. Sneezes, snotty noses, and watery eyes are the standard fare for everyone in our family. We have all developed a close, personal relationship with our allergy meds. Other than the stuffy noses, all of our plants and ...

Classic Caesar Salad

Classic Caesar Salad

Classic Caesar Salad isn't hard to make, in fact it can be a simple and inexpensive salad to accompany dinner. Top it with grilled chicken or salmon and it makes an excellent dinner! I've been a little obsessed with classic Caesar salads lately. Maybe it's because it so hard to find a really good one. Or maybe it corresponds with my other new obsession, anchovy paste. It ...

Spicy Black Eye Pea Salad

Spicy Black Eye Pea Salad

I consider myself a good Southerner and I tend to stick to tradition as much as anyone when it comes to welcoming in a new year. I never hang up my new calendar for the new year until January 1st ( much to my daughter's chagrin) and I always eat my black eye peas on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. That's not to say that I get up and particularly look forward to eating a big ...

Never buy a bag of potato chips again! Make your own Homemade Ruffles Potato Chips from scratch! Cheap and easy and lots of fun to eat. I'm not sure that I have ever heard of anyone who doesn't love potato chips.  I've heard of folks who can't eat potato chips, or "try not" to eat potato chips, and a few people who say potato chips go straight to their thighs, but I can't ...

Roasted Acorn Squash

Halloween was awesome. The best year yet. I haven't had that much fun on Halloween since I was a teenager rolling ( that's Southern for TPing) the sheriff's backyard. The kids were so stinking cute and collected a lot of candy which I will probably eat most of.  Holiday weight here I come!! Of course, after Halloween comes November. November is a crazy month for us. Why so ...

Hoppin’ John and how to Shop at the Farmer’s Market

  I have been going to the new local Farmer's Market pretty regularly this summer. After doing a lot of reading on the subject of food over the past few months, I decided that working local food into the budget would really be a benefit for our family. Although I had planned on increasing the food budget to allow for the higher prices of local food, I have found that as ...
